Dana Family Enlarges $100,000 Donation to Medical School Fund

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University's "liberal, unbiased outlook" toward academic freedom has prompted the Myer Dana family to increase its previous gifts to the University by $60,000.

Last May, Mrs. Etta Dana gave $100,000 for the establishment of a Myer and Etta Dana Scholarship and Aid Fund.

Commenting on the addition to the medical fund, Herman Dana '18 said, "We are convinced that there will be no change in the unfettered search for truth in which the University has constantly been engaged,"

He specifically lauded "the liberal attitude toward scholars," and "the freedom from prejudice," and was convinced that President Pusey has shown by his recent actions and speeches his "eagerness to continue these policies and his refusal to be swayed or intimidated by Irresponsible attacks."
